Abstract

Background

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors when added to insulin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods

PubMed, EMBASE, the Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) exploring the efficacy or safety of DPP-IV inhibitors in T2DM patients. The quality of the included RCTs was assessed with the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. For outcomes, odds ratios or weighted mean differences (WMDs) with 95% CIs were calculated using both random- and fixed-effects models.

Results

A total of 16 studies were included in the meta-analysis with 5418 participants. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was significantly decreased in the DPP-IV inhibitors with insulin (DPP-IVi/INS) group compared with the insulin-alone (with or without placebo) group (WMD = −0.62%; 95% CI: −0.74, −0.49; P < .05). Consistent with this finding, the fasting blood glucose (FBG)-lowering effect (WMD = −0.61 mmol/L; 95% CI: −0.77, −0.45; P < .05) and 2-hour postprandial glucose (2hPPG)-lowering efficacy (WMD = −2.39 mmol/L; 95% CI: −2.81, −1.97; P < .05) in the DPP-IVi/INS group were also significantly better than in the insulin-alone group. Regarding safety indicators, compared with the insulin-alone group, DPP-IVi/INS treatments had no association with the risk of adverse effects, including hypoglycemia, adverse events (AEs), and serious adverse events (SAEs).

Conclusions

Compared with insulin treatment alone, treatment with DPP-IVi/INS improved HbA1c, FBG, and 2hPPG without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia, AEs, or SAEs.

摘要

目的

评价二肽基肽酶IV(DPP-IV)抑制剂在使用胰岛素治疗的2型糖尿病(T2DM)患者中的有效性和安全性。

方法

系统地检索了PubMed、EMBASE、Web of Science和Cochrane Library数据库中探讨DPP-IV抑制剂对T2DM患者的有效性或安全性的随机对照试验研究(RCT)。采用Cochrane风险评估对纳入的随机对照试验进行质量评估。使用随机效应模型和固定效应模型对结果计算95%可信区间(95%CI)、优势比(OR)或加权平均差异(WMD)。

结果

共有16项研究纳入meta分析, 共有5418名参与者。糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)在DPP-IV抑制剂联合胰岛素(DPP-IVi/INS)组与单纯胰岛素组(加或不加安慰剂)相比显著降低(WMD=−0.62%;95%CI:−0.74, −0.49;P<0.05)。与此结果一致, DPP-IVi/INS组的空腹血糖(FBG)降低效果(WMD=−0.61 mmol/L;95%CI:−0.77, −0.45;P<0.05)和餐后2小时血糖(2hPPG)降低效果(WMD=−2.39 mmol/L;95%CI:−2.81, −1.97;P<0.05)也明显优于单纯胰岛素组。在安全指标方面, 与单纯胰岛素组相比, DPP-IVi/INS治疗与不良反应[包括低血糖、不良事件(AEs)和严重不良事件(SAEs)]的风险无关。

结论

与单纯胰岛素治疗相比, DPP-IVi/INS治疗改善了HbA1c、FBG和2hPPG, 而不会增加低血糖、AEs或SAEs的风险。
